When: Morning June 16
Where: Bishamon's temple
Summary: Training sessions for everyone to learn more about their abilities and jobs!



Many people have been wanting to know more about their abilities and what they are required to do here in the Far Shore. So, in conjunction with Bishamonten, the Heavens have seen fit to offer an open training session for everyone to participate in. Here you will be able to learn anything and everything about what you should be able to do and what is expected of you in your new positions.

Bishamon's temple is sweeping and gorgeous, having previously been home to hundreds of shinki. She has graciously offered to hold this training session and will be available to help anyone who needs it.



Equipment

Various kinds of mannequins and dummies have been provided for practice, as well as targets that are either stationary or move, depending on your will. Punching bags, jumping blocks, and a large pool area have also been provided for your use, so that you can find a tool for pretty much anything that you might need to practice. Plenty of practice weapons of various weights, sizes, and shapes are also available upon request from any of the many white-clad shinki that are also attending today.

God Training

Bishamon herself will be the foremost source of information regarding being a god and what is expected of you. It is also encouraged that gods group up together to practice what they've learned and discuss their ideologies. Random groupings can be provided by the mods or you may come up with your own groupings together.

Shinki Training

Various shinki are available to help with shinki training, including Kazuma and all of Bishamon's shinki. Additionally, the white-clad shinki will be more than happy to train you on using the borderline and some of the basics of what is expected of a shinki. It is also encouraged that shinki group up together to practice what they've learned and discuss their ideologies. Random groupings can be provided by the mods or you may come up with your own groupings together.

Refreshments

There is a refreshments table provided. It is covered with light snacks and various kinds of hydrating drinks. There is a little sitting area set up for people to relax in after they have finished their training or if they're even just taking a quick break to cool down. The Heavens want you to stay in good condition!

In Summary:

• Use the state of the art equipment
• Learn about your job
• Form groups to practice
• Don't get dehydrated
• Spectate if you want
• Have fun~

[Roxas tuned Bishamon out a while ago. Being lectured as is just as bad as that one meeting they had, but he gets the gist of it. Training and talking to other gods, right? Well, Okay. He can do that.]

...... The goddess I am knows how to use a bow and arrow. Other stuff, too. Can Hestia fight? [He's still learning about all of the gods in their pantheon.] I can probably teach you how to use another weapon.

[small_reservations]

... Not really. Feel pretty at home around a fire poker these days, though.

[It's weird. He's becoming... domestic. Next he'll be cleaning and cooking bento for his shinki or something. He needs a workout.]

And I can buff gods, but I'm pretty sure Bishamon would get angry if I started fires here. You wanna test those archery skills, though?

[Axel moves over to one of the shinki and picks up a blunted discus, essentially a metal frisbee. Heavier than his chakrams, but it'll do; he knows how strong Roxas is.]

Gives me a chance to work on my throwing arm, too.

[missingache]

A fire poker?

[He seriously can't imagine his friend as domestic. Really. Sorry, buddy.]

That's not a bad power. All I can do is run and move really fast. [And hit walls or trip really spectacularly.] You sure? I don't miss my targets very often.

[Which means maybe 1 in every 100 shots? Used to be much worse. But he'll comply readying his equipment. Yes, he's brought his own bow, but is going to be using the blunted arrows this place has.]

I gotta get Sora to start practicing more.

[small_reservations]

[The feeling is mutual. It's a little bit disturbing.]

I'm sure. If you can hit this, I'll be impressed.

[The discus has a good weight and balance. It won't be as easy to control as his chakrams, but when he tests its weight he knows he can pull something fun.

So he lets it fly. Somehow, he puts just enough spin on it that it spins a rapid loop around Roxas, about eight feet away. It's slightly destructive, but at least the area is clear. How does he do these things?! We just don't know!]

[missingache]

[Though... the domestication bug has kind of bitten Roxas a while ago. Sora in a way, too. Isn't that something?]

Then I gotta try hard, right?

[He nocks an arrow and lifts his bow, turning on his heel to where he thinks the chakram will be. He aims and shoots, grinning when there's a clang of metal against metal.]

That moved a lot faster than I thought it would. Almost missed it!

[Roxas nocks another arrow without a word. Was his friend still good at dodging? They're about to find out as the blond whips around and shoots at Axel.]

All part of training.
